Hello, and thank you for using this service. I'll be helping you with your problem today.

When you shut the door do all the lights turn off?

No..eventually they just go black but not just closing the door

ok. Is this how the old control board acted?

Customer replied 291 days and 6 hours ago.

I really don't remember. My son changed it for me and it was a few yrs ago. I just remember the buttons would not respond then and this time the same so that's why I had him change the control

OK well the only two items that can cause this problem is either the control board or the touchpad. Push the start button and listen if it beeps back at you. If it won't even beep back at you, then you need a new touch control panel---otherwise you may have just got a bad display control board so warranty out the control board and you should be good to go again (this is if you press the start button and it does beep but won't start).
